CSPRNG

Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator

Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generatorWikipedia

CSPRNG is a type of pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) that is designed to produce random numbers that are suitable for use in cryptography and other security-sensitive applications.

Unlike other PRNGs, which are designed for speed and statistical randomness, CSPRNGs are designed to be unpredictable, indistinguishable from true random numbers, and resistant to cryptographic attacks.

Secure Random Generators (CSPRNG)Practical Cryptography for Developers

Cryptography secure pseudo-random number generators (CSPRNG) are random generators, which guarantee that the random numbers coming from them are absolutely unpredictable.

The security of a CSPRNG is critical in ensuring the security of the applications that use it. A CSPRNG must be designed to produce numbers that are as random as possible, while also ensuring that the numbers are not predictable or susceptible to attacks. This is typically achieved by using a combination of mathematical algorithms, entropy sources, and cryptographic techniques. Here is an example of using a CSPRNG in Python using the “random” module.
